Customising Papyrus appearancehttps://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/354741/876061/#msg_876061
is it possible to customise the appearance of Papyrus. For example the stand alone version shows classes with a yellow background by default but the plug-in version does not. It is a little bit annoying to change the appearance of an element each time you paste it into a diagram.

I am currently using Papyrus 0.8.2. Each time I add an operation to a class and specify the arguments I need to change label customisation. Is there a way to set default appearance settings?

Thanks,

You can use the Papyrus preferences to specify the default appearance options for your elements.

Window -> Preferences -> Papyrus -> Diagrams

many thanks for the tip. This way I can influence the default settings for the appearance of classes etc. But the following questions remain open.

I could not find any global settings for the appearance of operation parameters. I would like to enable the name of a parameter and disable the modifiers.

Further I could not figure out how to apply the global settings to existing diagrams. As soon as I add a new class to my diagram the global appearance applies to the new class, but the existing classes in the diagram do not get updated. Is there a simple way to change this?

Is there a way to export these settings to import them into another workspace?

This is currently not possible. However, in Papyrus 0.9 (Which will be released in a few weeks, with Eclipse Juno), there is a support for CSS Stylesheets, which is more powerful than the current preferences-based customization.
